Heard the parties.

2. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the

Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been

preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences

registered under Sections 379, 411, 414, 34 of the Indian Penal

Code, section 30(ii) of Coal Mines Act, Section 21 of Mines

Minerals Development and Regulation Act and section 13 of

Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining Transportation

and Storage) Rules 2017.

3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner

submits that the wife of the petitioner has received the notice

under section 41A of Cr.PC as per the affidavit filed by the

State. He submits that now it has come to his knowledge about

the notice in which he has to appear.

4. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer

for anticipatory bail.

5. Issuance of the notice under section 41A of Cr.PC /

section 35(3) of BNSS would suggest that the police does not

want to arrest the petitioner. Thus, I am of the opinion that

there is no eminent threat of arrest of the petitioner. The

petitioner is directed to cooperate with the investigation.

6. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands

disposed of.
